Issa Responds to Democrats “Worries”

“That is the one thing that they’re worried about most – they’re most worried about Darrell Issa. The more and more I talk to Democrats around Capitol Hill and who are connected to the White House, their top concern is Darrell Issa. For whether or not they win the house, that is the biggest reason why they don’t want to lose this House to the Republicans.

From Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform:

“It’s telling that the one thing Democrats appear to be preoccupied with and worried about is the idea of legitimate oversight. It’s disappointing but not at all surprising that the Democrats are preoccupied with inventing scenarios about investigations that do not exist and are advancing partisan talking points rather than conducting actual oversight. Our job is not to shut down government or the administration, but rather to get it to work better for the American people so that we can better stewards of their tax-dollars. Let me be perfectly clear so there is no room for interpretation – oversight should make the people’s government work better for them. Oversight should force the bureaucracy to identify and weed-out waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement. Oversight should leverage the resources of the 21stCentury to make the federal bureaucracy more transparent and more accountable for the American people. If any Democrat finds that objectionable, they are welcome to make their case to the American people.”
